There’s a lot of firsts going on that night and it’s a big stage, but I’m not afraid of anything. I don’t know much about Tucker other than he’s from Oho and he’s shorter than me. I’m just going to prepare for everything. One thing about meI’m a gladiator. If he doesn’t show up to go to war, I will get him out of there. El entrenamiento va genial. I’m in Houston for this camp. I’m working on a lot of things and getting sharper and staying busy.

Promoter Dmitriy Salita said, “I am honored to be putting on this event at the fantastic MGM Grand Detroit, featuring American hero Claressa Shields on ShoBox: La Nueva Generación. Detroit is America’s greatest comeback city and I am thrilled that she has chosen MGM Grand Detroit as the site to fight for her first professional title on Marzo 10. Although it is just her second professional fight, Claressa has chosen a former world title challenger for her opponent, a tough Hungarian named Szilvia Szabados, a woman who knows what’s at stake if she can win that night. We’ve got a terrific card from top to bottom in support of this fantastic main event as well, featuring some of Detroit’s brightest up-and-coming prospects, as well as some national and international flavor. Detroit deserves to have world-class events such as this and I’m very proud to be able to bring it here.
Shields won her first Olympic Gold when she was 17 years old in the inaugural women’s boxing competition at the London Games in 2012. She defended her title at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, becoming the only American boxer to defend amateur sportspremier championship.

ShoBox analista experto Steve Farhood: “Women’s boxing in America has its best chance of revival because of the emergence of Claressa Shields. Women’s boxing is pretty big in certain countries, but it really hasn’t been a factor in the United States since Laila Ali y, before her, Christy Martin. Being the only U.S. boxer to win two gold medals, Claressa has instant credibility and star appeal and those two things are going to lead to wide exposure.
She has a great back story, she’s an exciting fighter to watch and she’s instantly likeable.
Simplemente pon, Shields found solace in boxing to overcome seemingly insurmountable challenges in her childhood. She’s become a vocal advocate for many social causes, including the ongoing water crisis in her hometown of Flint, women’s rights, and campaigning against sexual assault. An inspirational figure and motivational speaker, Shields represents a beacon of hope for a working-class city that struggles with violence, poverty, and everyday essentials.
In taking on a former world title challenger and fighting for the NABF middleweight championship in only her second fight, Shields continues to make immediate strides as a professional like fellow Flint native Floyd Mayweather, who won his first world title when he was 21.
Szabados challenged for a world title in July 2015 in her ninth professional fight, losing a decision to undefeated WBC Super Middleweight Champion Nikki Adler en Alemania. The native of Miskolc, Hungary has faced two former world champions, Mikaela Lauren y Noni Tenge, and has won via knockout in three of her last five victories.

Since going pro in February 2013, the strong, aggressive-minded southpaw has played smash-mouth against mostly outclassed opponents, ganadora 13 de su 15 knockouts inside four rounds. To many, Davis resembles a young, smaller version of Mike Tyson in the way he walks down foes, gets on the inside and unloads lethal hooks and uppercuts. He’s gone into the ninth round once and into the sixth round twice. A winner of six straight by knockout, Davis’ lone fight to go the distance came in his ninth outing, a six-round nod over German Meraz, who went down twice, en octubre 2014. Davis viene de un 0:41, first-round KO over Mario Macias last Junio 3.

Although powerful, very fast and determined, the talented Davis is taking a significant leap in class and he may enter the ring as a slight underdog to Puerto Rico’s Pedraza, 27, a solid switch-hitter with first-rate skills, el movimiento y la perforación de energía. This will be Pedraza’s third defense of the IBF 130-pound title. He’s gone the 12-round distance four times in a row and five times since his pro debut in February 2011. At 5-feet-8½, he is two-and-a-half inches taller than Davis.
Davis, the IBF’s No. 8-ranked super featherweight, who was born and resides in Baltimore, shared thoughts on his upcoming fight from the Uptown Boxing Center in Baltimore:

You’ve been a professional for less than three years, yet you’re less than two weeks away from getting a crack at a world title. What are your thoughts about that?

It’s been my goal to fight for a world title. Tengo mucha confianza. I’ve worked hard in the gym for over two months for this fight. I’ve put in the hours. I’ve had a great camp with great sparring. I’m not surprised the fight is almost here. This is perfect timing for me.

Have you done anything differently in this camp?

Maybe some little things, but not really. We take training seriously. We take all our opponents very seriously. But I have to treat it as just another fight, against another opponent. We know Pedraza is a world champion, a great fighter that comes to fight and we give him his respect as a world-class fighter. I know he’s going to be ready. He’s always ready when it’s time to get in there and do his job. But I’m prepared for him. He doesn’t know what we bring to the table.

Are you surprised you’re not favored? When was the last time you were an underdog?

I’m the underdog because he’s the world champion, that’s the reason. Aparte de eso, I feel deep inside that he’s the underdog, but that’s just my assessment. He won’t be showing me anything I haven’t already seen before.

I’ve never been the underdog in a fight, so this is a first for me.

When’s the last time you lost a fight?

I’m competitive all around and don’t like losing. I can’t remember exactly the last time I lost a fight, maybe it was three years ago. All I know for sure is that my mind entering this fight is all about winning.

Critics talk of your level of competition, or lack of. What’s your opinion of the fighters Pedraza’s successfully defended against lately?

I’m not taking anything away from Pedraza; he’s beat Stephen Smith and Edner Cherry but those guys don’t bring the power, velocidad, elusiveness and angles that I do. I’m not downgrading anybody, but they’re mostly average.

Are you looking at this as an opportunity to showcase your overall skills, durability, etcétera?

A lot of people don’t realize the skills and talent that I have. They see me just going in there like a little Tyson or someone like that. But I have all the tools. I know how to box, how to move my feet. I have good hand speed. I work my angles and things like that. I’m an overall sound fighter, un boxeador-golpeador.

I think this will be a wakeup call for boxing, a chance to show that I’m the one. But I’m not coming to be just the top guy. I want to be a superstar and bring joy and entertainment to the sport. Pedraza will bring out the best in me and I will steal the show.

How do you manage to stay in the moment, and not look back, or can you?

I’m so thankful that I am part of a strong team, and that I have such a great team. I believe we have the greatest team in boxing. They keep me grounded, enfocado. They keep me from getting distracted. We all know what the main goal is. I can’t do it all myself, my coach can’t do it all himself, my manager can’t do it all himself. We believe totally in each other as a team. I listen to everything they say.

How much is your past a motivation, or is it? When you look back at your life do you have memories or nightmares?

I believe I’ve accomplished a lot. Me just being alive today, me not being in jail or in trouble outside the ring, it’s hard from where I come from. But it’s all helped me handle situations well. I’m so used to dealing with situations. I’m older and know what’s right from wrong. There’s never any pressure when I fight. I’ve won so many fights already I know what to do when I get in the ring.

How long have you known Floyd? When did you meet him and how would you describe your relationship? What does it mean for Floyd to be your promoter?

The first time I talked to Floyd (at length) was at the Adrien Broner-Shawn Porterfight (Junio 20, 2015). Me and Adrien, we’re friends and he flew me out to Las Vegas for the fight. I worked out at the Mayweather gym and Floyd liked the way I fought, my heart. But the first time I actually met and talked to him came when one of Floyd’s press tours came to Washington, D.C.

Floyd has always had a major impact on me and my career. I grew up around him. All of us wanted to be like him. Like Tyson and Ali were to the generations of boxers before me, Floyd was our superstar. For him to bring me under his wing, to fight for him, is unbelievably great.

BROOKLYN (Diciembre 8, 2016)-The only two Puerto Rican-born world champions in boxing are set to show their skills and heart for boxing fans in New York as Jose “Sniper” Pedraza y Amanda “Real Deal” Serrano defend their titles on Sábado, Enero 14 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and live on TIEMPO DE LA FUNCION.
Puerto Rico has such a rich boxing history with many of the sport’s greatest champions hailing from the island,” dijo Lou DiBella, El presidente de DiBella Entertainment. “Ahora mismo, there are only two Puerto Rican-born world champions, junior lightweight Jose Pedraza and junior featherweight Amanda Serrano, and I happen to promote them both. Enero 14 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn is a tremendous card all around, but it will also serve as a celebration of Puerto Rican pride and heritage to be able to watch the country’s only two world champions defend their titles on the same show.
Pedraza (22-0, 12 KOs) will defend his IBF Super Featherweight World Championship against hard-hitting unbeaten contender Gervonta Davis (16-0, 15 KOs)in the co-main event on SHOWTIME. With his victory in June 2015, Pedraza added his name to the distinguished list of Puerto Rican world champions. After losses suffered by Roman Martinez and McJoe Arroyo, he currently stands as the only remaining male champion born in Puerto Rico.
Being the only male Puerto Rican-born world champion is something that I’m very proud of,” said Pedraza. “It is also a big weight that I carry on my shoulders. I know that I have to give my best because I am not just a champion of the ring. I am a champion of my island of Puerto Rico. Knowing that all of Puerto Rico will be in there with me encourages me to give my all every time I step into the ring.
“En Enero 14 I will be facing a great boxer with a lot of talent, velocidad y potencia. Sin embargo, I will let him know what it feels like to share a ring with a real world champion. Davis will enter the ring as a young, hungry unbeaten challenger, but the only thing he will leave with is the first loss on his record.
Serrano (30-1-1, 23 KOs), a four-division world champion, will defend her WBO Super Bantamweight World Championship against former two-division world champion Yazmin Rivas (35-9-1, 10 KOs) in the SHOWTIME EXTREME main event at 7 p.m. Y/PT. The winner of the Serrano-Rivas matchup will earn the prestigious WBC Diamond championship. Serrano’s first world title victory in 2011 made her just the third Puerto Rican-born woman to win a world title.
This bout also signifies the first nationally televised women’s world title bout in nearly a decade, since Mary Jo Saunders fought Valerie Mahfood on March 30, 2007 (ESPN2).
It feels fantastic to be fighting on SHOWTIME for the first time and sharing the stage at Barclays Center with my countryman Jose Pedraza,” dijo Serrano. “Knowing that both he and I are currently the only two Puerto Rican-born world champions, Masculino o femenino, in boxing today is an honor.
As for Yazmin Rivas being a tough fight, that’s only on paper. I will prove that I am in a different league. There’s a reason why finding someone to fight me wasn’t easy. I’m the hardest hitting female fighter in boxing today. Rivas will soon know that personally.
Pedraza, of Caguas, and Serrano, de Carolina, are the latest in a long line of world class and beloved Puerto Rican champions who will look to put on impressive performances and make a mark nationally with victories in front of the friendly New York crowd. New York City boasts nearly one million Puerto Rican residents, making it the largest population of Puerto Ricans outside of Puerto Rico.
I met Amanda Serrano at this year’s Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York,” said Pedraza. “She is a kind woman and I can see that, as a champion, Serrano is dedicated and always gives her best. I am proud of her for representing our people of Puerto Rico very well. En la noche del combate, Barclays Center will shine with Luz Boricua as Amanda and I seek glory for Puerto Rico together.
To be able to defend my world title in Brooklyn, where I live, es un sueño hecho realidad,” dijo Serrano. “New York is home to so many Puerto Ricans and I am sure they will really come out in support of this great event. I am truly a fan of my people. I would like to thank Lou DiBella, the best promoter in boxing, for giving me the chance to show the world why I am the ‘Real Deal’! I would also like to thank SHOWTIME for the opportunity. Sr. Stephen Espinoza, I will not disappoint you.
The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast is headlined by a super middleweight world championship unification showdown between Badou Jack (20-1-2, 12 KOs) y James DeGale (23-1, 14 KOs), con la cobertura televisiva a partir de las 9:30 p.m. Y/6:30 p.m. PT.

Criado en la sección Bushwick de Brooklyn, Serrano gravitó hacia el boxeo al ver a su hermana mayor Cindy, también un luchador profesional. Ella recogió el deporte rápidamente, amasar una 9-1 récord durante una breve carrera amateur en la que ganó el título de los Guantes de Oro de Nueva York en 2008. El joven de 27 años pasaría a pelear por todo el mundo, apoderándose de su primer título mundial en 2011 cuando derrotó a Kimberly Connor para agarrar un cinturón súper pluma. En 2014, se fue a Argentina y derrotó a María Elena Maderna para convertirse en campeona mundial de peso ligero. Su ascenso al título mundial continuó en febrero cuando detuvo a Olivia Gerula en la primera ronda para capturar su campeonato de peso pluma.. Hizo su debut en el Barclays Center en julio con un paro de primera ronda de Calixta Silgado antes de obtener otra victoria en la primera ronda cuando detuvo a Alexandra Lazar para recoger un título mundial vacante de peso pluma junior..

 

Un joven de 28 años de Torreón, México, Rivas recogió su título internacional del CMB en su última pelea, una victoria por decisión sobre Jessica González. Rivas había defendido previamente con éxito su título mundial de peso gallo cuatro veces después de ganar el cinturón contra Alesia Graf en 2014. Su carrera anterior como campeona de peso gallo duró cinco defensas después de que derrotó a la invicta Susie Ramadan para ganar ese cinturón.. Estas carreras extendidas por el campeonato se produjeron después de que se convirtiera en campeona mundial de peso mosca en 2005 al derrotar a Lucia Avalos.

 

Un olímpico que representó a su Ucrania natal, Khytrov también ganó un Campeonato Mundial Amateur antes de convertirse en profesional en 2013. Desde entonces, el joven de 28 años ha dominado en su camino para detener a los contendientes Josh Luteran y Nick Brinson y a los luchadores previamente invictos Maurice Louishomme y Aaron Coley. Khytrov, quien entrena fuera de Brooklyn, ganó un entretenido nocaut en el noveno asalto sobre Paul Méndez en su última apertura en julio pasado. Khytrov ha peleado tres veces anteriormente en ShoBox: La Nueva Generación.

 

Nacido en East Meadow, Nueva York y luchando desde Richmond, Virginia, Aleem fue introducido al boxeo a una edad temprana por sus padres.. Desde que se convirtió en profesional en 2012 a la edad 18, el joven de 23 años ha acabado con toda la competencia frente a él. En 2015, dominó a Emmanuel Sanchez, David Toribio, Oscar Riojas y Carlos Galván antes de derrotar a Jonathan Cepeda en abril. En su última pelea, empató con el prospecto derrotado Demond Nicholson. Buscará aprovechar otra gran oportunidad en Enero 14.
